Way I see it is that income will only be taxable if 'earned' and untaxed abroad or paid by state untaxed and forwarded by the company or state through a bank transfer. I think this is justifiable and fair . I know many will say I am wrong, but I do not think Thailand will get away with taxing people's money TWICE. The whole thing is ridiculous until further clarified. I also believe it will fall apart on the first legal challenge by a foreigher or a Thai I am not seeing anything from the poster of this thread that deals with savings transfers - which is NOT income - merely a transfer form bank to bank. I send to Thailand a mix of income AND savings - this is not therefore all income Seriously ? I am not aware of anyone being given a formal request in writing to file a tax return other than net speculation. If you can show me evidence of foreigners being given written information on this directly I will agree with you

I am still totally confused by this nonsense - I send money from my UK account that is savings. I cannot see how Thailand is going to see what is genuine savings as opposed to income. I would totally support tax on foreign income paid direct to Thailand by either a pension or a work company as you need to pay tax somewhere.

Still looks cheap compared to the lunatic McD prices in nutty California due to the idiot Newsome increasing min wage to a wage breaking businesses and laying people off

On your marks, get set....................

Exactly why my Thai daughter will never be allowed to marry a Thai man - never seem to grow up and her life would be in danger in my opinion

Not being a driver of a car or motorbike - I'd have to say the Kuwaiti has some of the blame here for not pushing the bike to the curb and trying to restart it.

Great plan, borrow money from a foreigner and them dob him in so you do not have to pay it back after he is deported

Probably as much chance of Thai Airways dropping their prices as of a freebie from a destitute bar girl with 3 kids, a sick buffalo and a desire for the latest i-phone

Biden is less concerned with Xi and more concerned with ZZ's

If they do not get some serious rain soon then the water chucking idiocy will have to be cancelled

If anyone can explain to me why so many 'mentally ill' defined people are attracted to this religion I am happy to hear it. The fact this cult has so many mentally ill people must show something

Seriously , spouting that is just fear mongering. 1 Died of a heart attack, 1 crushed by fellow rioters, 1 rioter shot by a policeman, 1 unknown death, and 1 policemen that cause of death was debateable. The crowd was not shooting politicians, or burning in the building down - even the police showed them round the building There was supposedly at least 400% more people killed in the BLM riots during police building attacks, looting, burning building , police assualts, etc - who is being prosecuted for that ? Oh that's right - nobody. I would say that the BLM riots were far more insurrectionalist than Jan 6th

1. Are you seriously suggesting that the current polls showing a large swing for Trump is now due to people becoming cult members and lunatics ? And not just normal people fed up with 'Bidenonmic' failures and border invasions ? 2. Hopefully the NATIONAL supreme court - not the Colorado democrat state supreme court - will man up and shove the decision right down Colorado's Either way, 2024 is sure going to be a fun year in USA politics for an outsider - like me !

Well, he'll certainly win the Florida primary being the only one on the ballot for the supposedly democratic democrats

What a surprise ! A democrat state, with a democrat court and a democrat state supreme court - what a total joke ! I see 3 possible outcomes of this : 1. The supreme court over-rules it - I think is correct - it is a right wing leaning 6-3 supreme court anyway. Trump has not been 'criminally' convicted of insurrection. The law was initiated originally I believe to stop confederates that fought against the union from running for president. 2. Supreme court agrees - I think unlikely, as it will lead to every state doing the same for each runner of both parties in every future election. There will be fighting on the streets if this happens. Biden/the democrats taking out the person ahead of them in the polls is ridiculous - America is becoming a banana republic if this happens and will be laughed at if they try and intercede in any world conflict 3. The total break up of the United States - the right leaning ones and the left leaning - say 25 states each - it may sound crazy but we are at a point where the judicial system has been politicised and each state is now going against the next. Personally, I think this is the best idea - the far left are far to radical now for any right leaning person to live with.

Festive blitz ? sounds more like a dream holiday harassment for everybody else

I think the photo makes him looks like he will be attending many falang weddings dressed in orange soon

Maybe if he said Pretty Please ?

If not understanding CCTV is part of the mentality of the average thai soldier, then it will not matter how much the military buys from China, it will be operated by idiots

Whilst I applaud Thailand for wanting the children to understand Thai culture, my daughter sometimes spends an entire day celebrating some religious day and doing absolutely nothing else for the rest of the day at school. For those knocking teachers, my wife was a teacher and went to uni/school until 25 before leaving to teach. She was extremely educated for her kindergarten role, she has folders upon folders of certificates. HOWEVER - the teachers are NOT educated about foreign matters, she had no idea what 9/11 was, who Hitler was or that Australia is nearer to Thailand than my UK !

Imagine the judge getting (and laughing) a extradition request in my UK and Thailand demanding the return of a UK national for having sex with a 17 year old , a year older than the legal age for sex in the UK. Thai police are laughable sometimes. 17 year old in the UK these days is probably up the duff with her 2nd kid and on the council lists already

Be fair , you know it will just go on 1-2 extra bottle of Chang a week

Another left leaning person that never looks at their own parties but accuses others - You obviously do not read the news of Biden announcing that he will be the only one of the ballot in the Florida primaries ! THAT IS BANNANA REPULIC ! His own party members - those wanting to be on the ballot - are now going to court to get on the ballot. want to comment on Biden doing that ? Not seen trump try to ban his opposition from the ballot yet I am sure you are intelligent enough to find the story for yourself, but here's one link - i do not know if they lean left or right. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/12/04/florida-democrat-party-primary-voters-biden-uygur-williamson-phillips/

I am fully aware of this and would have been using the combined method anyhow, I think under the old law I would need to have only about £5,000 in the bank as my income would have been near to the 18k, all that will happen now is having to show about 70k and my income. It's a pain but doable. The whole thing is wrong. I can actually agree somewhat with the 38k BUT, it needs to be split into deductible income and spare income. As said if I am spending 20k on rent - quite low in the SE - then I only have £18 to live on - but still enough. The amount for people owning their own (paid) homes should be reduced to by 20k to cover the non payment of rent or mortgage. I would say that if you have an reasonable income and can show you have equity in your house (my case 360-380k) then that asset should count towards the amount required - hell, even asking people to put up their house as collateral would be OK for most !

Hmm, my guess is that he already knows he will be found guilty - in fact the judge found him guilty even before hearing the evidence - but he knows 100% it will be overturned on appeal. This case was brought by a woman that ran on prosecuting Trump agenda, in a heavy democrat state - the sensible people already left for Florida - The judge is a democrat donor, his court clerk passing him notes is a heavy democrat donor, and even the judges wife supported the left wing DA at parties (see the videos for yourself) The judge refuses to listen to any common sense - the whole gist as I see it is 'did trump lie about his finances - HOWEVER the paperwork he gave to the bank states 'please do your own valuation, this is my valuation' Therefore the whole case is just political nonsense by left wing movement. There is no victim in the case, the bank got their money, the bank said Trump was a great client and wanted more business. The DA is a complete fraud - murders , rapes, gun crime is up like 200% (like nearly all democrat run cities) and she's wasting her time on this. I truly hope Trump gets in and on day one becomes a dictator for 24 hours and gets these people out the door or in prison for election interference. For those arguing against Trump and for the left - I ask you this - how come there are NO prosecution in republican states ? Why is there no prosecution of the 50 FBI agents or whatever saying the Russian dossier was real or the Hunter laptop fake. The FBI and DOJ needs a clear out ! I would support Trump, BUT I would also support any reasonable prosecution against him IF there is clear evidence and NOT the left doing a hail Mary ! I actually expect Trump not to be on the ballet - purely as f the polls get any worse for Biden , the FBI/CIA/DOJ will assassinate him
